#2 here some theory by smoser (thanks) http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6JDQ9ycJhw/
I tested on that and it works reliable. TL;DR as long as we have ONE base service "=conflictee" and ONE extra service "=conflicter". then systemd will always run the second. Fortunately in Debian/Ubuntu the apt level conflicts will make sure the above constraint is true. I'm now on more than 50 tests with my former case modified and we are good. So #2 is ok as well. This leaves only #3 to be considered to think about a potential fix. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764357 Title: start/stop of conflicting time services not well coordinated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/systemd/+bug/1764357/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
